San Antonio Truck Accident Lawyers
Our firm is ready to fight for you
We proudly represent people hurt in commercial trucking crashes across San Antonio and South Texas. When a fully loaded semi weighs tens of thousands of pounds, the people in ordinary cars rarely walk away unharmed. When a wreck happens because a truck driver or a trucking company acted carelessly, injured victims deserve real answers and fair compensation. Our team has handled hundreds of 18-wheeler cases and is ready to take on yours.
Losing a loved one, or watching them suffer a life-changing injury, is devastating — and it is even harder to accept when a negligent driver or their employer caused it. We are here to help you understand your rights and pursue accountability.
Driver behavior causes most large-truck crashes
Federal research from the Motor Carrier Safety Administration found that the drivers of large commercial vehicles are far more likely to be the cause of a serious crash than factors such as weather, road surface, or vehicle condition. A landmark national study of fatal and injury crashes concluded that an action or inaction by a driver was the critical reason in the large majority of collisions studied.
Common causes of trucking accidents
- Inadequate driver training or inexperience
- Overloaded or oversized trucks and shifting cargo
- Poorly maintained brakes and equipment failure
- Driving too many hours without rest — fatigue and drowsiness
- Speeding or driving too fast for road and weather conditions
- Failure to yield the right of way and aggressive driving
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Poor visibility from fog, smoke, snow, or rain
- Missing or defective lights, reflectors, and underride guards
We take the fight to the insurance company
Trucking companies and their insurers often work hard to avoid responsibility. That is exactly why you want an experienced truck accident attorney on your side from the start. Our record of successful outcomes for victims of 18-wheeler, semi-truck, and other commercial vehicle crashes speaks for itself, and we know what it takes to give you the best chance at the compensation you deserve.
The Eagle Ford Shale traffic problem
The oil boom brought far more heavy-truck traffic to San Antonio and the Eagle Ford Shale region, and crashes involving commercial trucks rose sharply as local roads struggled to keep up. If you or someone you love was injured in one of these wrecks, our injury attorneys can help you pursue what you are owed.
